Love the brushwork you apply to miniature figurines.

They are great figures. I have one or two and have seen them around. But i have a dumb question. Were they released or given out with coffee products? Why the title

Hi Jason n Grey Heron
thx for yr kind inputs. These figs were produced by the same team who produced the excellent Historex range. The Cafe Storme and Mokarex figs were packed into coffee jars and sold to the public. Their huge range and exquisite sculpting made them very collectable and a huge mkt developed to exchange and resell these figs. Y can still find them on eBay.

I repainted parts of the figs and painted their names on the bases. Finished.

Some of them need modifications and repairs. I added back packs to the marching WWI figs

The fig of George Sands is being repaired. Attached a lamp to the broken part.

I fixed the broken mallets on these two figs. Simple wire inserts with putty.
